Real-life Mr Happy can’t feel sadness

    EVER-smiling Malcolm Myatt has been left unable to feel sadness after suffering a stroke.

    Doctors told him the frontal lobe of his brain that controls emotions was hit.

    But plucky Malcolm, 68, said: “It’s amazing what happened. Now I am never depressed. I feel happy all the time and am never down. The stroke nearly killed me but now it has turned out to my advantage.

    “I barely even notice that I don’t feel sadness. There is a part of the brain that remembers jokes and now I love telling them. I’m always cracking them because I feel happy and I want other people to feel good too.”

    Ex-trucker Malcolm, of Cannock, Staffs, had the massive stroke in January 2004. He was left with little feeling in his left side and suffers short-term memory loss.

    Wife Kath, 67, an IT tutor, said: “When he laughs everyone does. He livens up any room. He’s always happy.”
